Functional Fall: A Seat at The Table


  • 40 Beech Street Port Chester, NY, 10573 (map)

Clay Art Center is proud to present our First Annual Functional Fall Exhibition: A Seat At The Table.

This National Call For Entry Exhibition is guest juried by Jessica Putnam Phillips, and brings everyone to the table through ceramics that serve, featuring work from artists at all stages of their careers throughout the US.  

“This exhibition of functional ceramics focuses on the concept of “service” in tableware. Encompassing a wide range of ceramic styles from evocative shapes made to serve functionally, to conceptual and narrative work that explores the ideas of serving beyond the traditional role as a vessel for a meal, these objects set the table for a dialog between maker and viewer. This exhibition aims to present ceramics that bring people together for discourse and sustenance for the mind, body, and soul.” Jessica Putnam-Phillips
